Unfortunately, it seems the democrats think the game is fair, the GOP / MAGA factions lie, cheat, obfuscate and use every dirty tactic they can. There will never be another free and fair election in the USA.
It's like getting hope from watching your dear grandmother knitting while the @IDF is shooting the rest of your family in the same room right before her eyes after having shelled your neighbourhood during the preceding four hours.
I lost my hope for the future when they handed the presidency over to the insurrections on a silver platter, America is fucked and I would be surprised if people like Harris, AOC, or Bernie survive the next few years.
Wish I could say the same. I saw the equivalent of a whipped dog slinking back to it's corner, a perfect description of the way Democrats are reacting to defeat.
Showing respect is who we are, however, the way people are reacting is yet to be determined. This is just formalities that we will abide by, because we don't act like children. At least that Is what I saw, not defeat, just respect for American processes that the other side mocks.
Not only are they mocking the processes they are movking the decent people such as you. The opponents of Trump's criminal enterprise have had 2 months to organise, so far, talk.
Oh, I know the circus when I see it. I know politicians who has lobby allies when I see their votes (yes both sides like you see). I try to pay attention as best as one can. Respect, dignity, and honor should never be traded, that is what we are supposed to be, Values guide us.
Oh, I didn't know that you are drawing that comparison, I get the view, mine is just different, and no fkn way my body would not be in the way of that violence, and everyone I know too. We are allied, just had different experiences/ read different material.
Let's enjoy normalcy in the government for just a little bit longer I guess... This is going to be a tough 4 years seeing the shit show take back over.
She violated the constitution by allowing a convicted (in the state of Colorado and not overturned by the Supreme Court) insurrectionist to assume office. This is nothing to be proud of.
What hope do you have for the future in fascist America?
The Democrats have less of a backbone than a jellyfish and were the only possible people in the way of this happening. Nothing can be done now. It’s too late.
Defeat to a highly controversial figure feels less ominous or distressing when done with grace and dignity. Hope seems a bit of a reach tho when the bad part is about to begin.
I’m glad to see that your state shows candidates’ full names on the ballot. My state only shows surnames. I think this put both Hillary and Kamala at a disadvantage, as they were so often called by their first names during the campaign.
Thanks, Name recognition is essential in voting. We also have Ranked voting for State/Local Elections. Helps Us all feel more represented by our government. I am also a big fan of our simple majority for measures and new laws.
Black ppl will never be treated with dignity or grace. Kamala Harris is an outstanding woman and still she is treated with vile disrespect on the most sacred ground of American democracy.
It merely reignited in me that we have been underprepared for the next 4 years unlike the otherside who’ve been training for this for decades. Organize. Learn how to shoot a gun. Stay safe. We’re about to hit turbulence
As I listened those speaking of President Cater's life and accomplishments and of his integrity, intelligence, honesty and compassion I could not help but think what a contrast he and his life of service posed to that of 45 who has done nothing for others and does not possess even one good quality.
She ran a horrid campaign, never advocated for Palestinians and promised to continue w/ Israel, talked about the most lethal military in the world, addressed 0 material realities that the working class is dealing with, fuck her for letting a fascist take office. I never regretted voting so much.
Trump likes to project views. When he accused the Dems of removing the vote if re-elected he really meant himself. I still retain a hope that America is not that stupid. A real fear is that he could persuade the GOP to remove the two term limit but a higher authority will probably intervene ⚰️
I think America has proven to be that stupid. But hope is all we have left. He probably won’t make it to a third term but he will install his replacement most likely.
Gives you hope? VP Harris, Democrats, AG GARLAND "did NOT do the investigation on INTERFERENCE STOLEN ELECTIONS by PUTIN & MUSK and handed our Country to be DESTROYED TO A DOMESTIC TRAITOR. There won't be a DEMOCRACY, A COUNTRY LEFT! That's betrayal to our Constitution they swore an OATH TO DEFEND!
Sorry, handing over the keys to the country to fascists does not inspire hope. There should’ve been some sort of fight by the Democrats and there was nothing.
Had to look it up. Typical sour faced old white guy MAGA class on display. Since she displayed such grace I’ll be happy to call him out for being another laughable example of a “Christian”. And a complete dickstick too.
Although, if we are being honest, showing these people dignity and respect when they offer none in return is not a flex, just represents who we are. We are here for honest open debate; they are there for themselves and we stand in their way of their goals.
Why? In what way? To me, it's more evidence of easy capitulation that reveals the Democratic party as either impotent or complicit. In many cases, the former is a version of the latter.
There's no way to stop the election at that point in time. If she stayed home, the count would still go through.
There's other opportunities to beat back his agenda. But it has to involve you, not just a faceless Democratic party over there somewhere.
In a time where literally EVERY ACTION is distorted & used for propaganda purposes, there is no point in letting "concern about how it might look" preventing Democrats from doing what's necessary.
Including: obeying the 14th Amendment, which specifically prohibits what the Dems waved through today.
He is going to change the rules and try to be elected 4 years from now. The democrats need to get a 'moderate' candidate able to beat him. They also need to change their strategy to focus on the middle class. Start today.
yeah, now they're asskissing another far-right genocide in an attempt to make up for their own, with a far-right party gaining popularity in polls (AfD).
This is true. As the saying goes, "This too will pass." It is that I am of an age to have been raised by the generation that defeated fascism abroad and know how they suffered that it felt like capitulation. That we could elect a fascist-felon-rapist as president is beyond the pale.
The peaceful transfer of power is necessary for the continuation of our democracy, and I applaud V.P. Harris for her comportment and ethics. But this is now an asynchronous struggle between the continuation of democracy and an administration that tried to destroy it.
Same. We just have to make it through the next 4 years. I’m hoping we’ll be able to make some progress in the midterms. In the meantime, I guess we hang on and hope for the best.
Do you know anything about me?
Or are you making insulting assumptions in some feeble attempt to make my post about something other than the direct issue?
Go back to Twitter.
Muted.
I know what you posted and I now know that you get upset when people suggest actually doing something about the direct issue.

Stop playing the victim.
May I ask what state you’re in?
The Beaver State
I’m in Connecticut, the land of steady habits. 🙄
Tbh: I wouldn't even be too sure it REALLY ends after 4 years
I’m sure she needs a break, but when she is rested, we really need her around too.
Great civilizations rise and fall.

#NoQuarter for Trump voters.
Kamala capitulated. Trump is in direct violation of the 14th amendment. It was her DUTY to refuse.
Including: obeying the 14th Amendment, which specifically prohibits what the Dems waved through today.
